Overview

It's a special day for Cassie. Her daddy's taking her out for a surprise treat. As she gets dressed, she chooses many colorful items: her yellow-and-red polka-dot dress, purple shoes, a green pocketbook. What's the surprise? He's taking her to the ice cream parlor, with its blueand-orange sign. Cassie orders her favorite--a pink strawberry sundae!

Join Cassie as she gets ready for a colorful outing with Daddy to the ice cream parlor.
